Resident doctors reject MoU presented by Federal Government to end strike
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has rejected the new memorandum of understanding (MoU) presented by the federal government to end its ongoing strike.
On August 1, resident doctors embarked on a strike over the alleged failure of the federal government to implement an agreement bordering on salaries and allowances.
Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, had dragged the association before the national industrial court over the strike.
The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), on Friday, led the resident doctors to a meeting summoned at the instance of President Muhammadu Buhari to resolve the nationwide strike.
Speaking with journalists today after the closed-door meeting with representatives of the federal government, in Abuja, Okhuaihesuyi Uyilawa, NARD national president, said he could not sign the MoU as a result of an undisclosed clause.
“We rejected the MoU; we didn’t sign it because we feel we are being punished for the failures of those in government,” he said.
He said the nationwide strike would continue and the association would proceed with the court case.
